Print Pattern On Fabric

Printer options:

Use thick or cardstock paper

option.

Select best print quality

Preparing fabric to print:Cut a piece of front and back

fabric and freezer paper a bit

larger than the paper size you will

use to print your pattern on. For

example, if you will be printing on

8.5x11 then cut your pieces to 9 X

11.5. Then set your back fabric

pieces aside for now.

Place your front fabric face down on your

ironing board and then place the piece of

freezer paper on top of it with the wax side

down. With a hot iron, no steam, iron the

freezer paper until it is thoroughly

attached. Pay close attention to the edges,

making sure they are securely attached.

Place double sided tape around the outer

edges of a piece of paper the size you are

going to print (example 8.5x11) and then

attach it to the back of the freezer paper.

Cut away the excess

fabric/freezer paper and print

your image on your fabric and letdry for 30 minutes on a at

surface. Remove paper and

freezer paper backing.
